‘ENGLISH COACHES MUST EVOLVE’

Ed­die Jones has urged the Rugby Foot­ball Union to pay for de­vel­op­ing English coaches to en­hance their skills by work­ing in the south­ern hemi­sphere. Jones be­lieves New Zealand “con­trol the world”, partly as a re­sult of their suc­cess at send­ing emerg­ing coaches to Europe to pro­vide them with an al­ter­na­tive out­look on the game. He said: “English coaches need to get that other bit of the game which is there in the south­ern hemi­sphere – the un­struc­tured rugby, the or­gan­ised chaos.To evolve to be­come a head coach is some­thing the RFU have got to look af­ter, not me.”
